I wouldn't take a portable power tool (particularly anything from PC)
in for repair, at all. I'd just replace it. Labor is just too
expensive these days to bother with it.


I was offered free repair recently - to replace a wheel on a
favourite piece of luggage - but by the time I paid for shipping
or drove 90 minutes each way twice .. nah.
... so they sent not one wheel - but two wheel assemblies
shipped free to my home - now if I had an industrial riviting
machine, I'd be all set !
I'm still pondering - to drill out one of the new wheels and
do the wheel-only replacement ... not sure how to make
it a proper job .. never done any rivet peening before
... brass rivet or something else ? ideas welcomed.
